Top 11 Go ssh-agent Projects

  • yubikey-agent

    yubikey-agent is a seamless ssh-agent for YubiKeys.

    • Project mention: Show HN: SSH-tpm-agent – SSH agent for TPMs | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-29

    This is a great idea. I now exclusively use SSH keys on hardware security modules of some kind. I use "Secretive", a mac app that does the same, plus a yubikey using yubikey-agent (https://github.com/FiloSottile/yubikey-agent; there are too many complicated ways to use SSH keys with a yubikey this is one of the friendliest ones). Depending on the security and frequency of which I access the service impacts whether I need presence confirmation or use secretive versus the yubikey.

    I would be remiss to mention there are existing SSH TPM projects, not sure how this one differentiates. It seems to at least have the user experience pretty simple, similar to yubikey-agent (and secretive), and unlike some of the existing solutions which have quite a few extra steps:

  • goph

  • hashi-up

    bootstrap HashiCorp Consul, Nomad, or Vault over SSH < 1 minute

    • Project mention: Selfhosted software to store ssh keys and passwords | /r/selfhosted | 2023-06-04

    If you want to try Vault, you could try hashi-up to get it installed easily.

  • wsl-ssh-agent

    Helper to interface with Windows ssh-agent.exe service from Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

    • Project mention: What SSH / terminal tool are we using? | /r/sysadmin | 2023-07-12

  • WinCryptSSHAgent

    • Project mention: Unix sockets, Cygwin, SSH agents, and sadness | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-29

    If that project https://github.com/buptczq/WinCryptSSHAgent had a pin timeout, it would be the perfect Windows ssh agent. It support named pipe, pagent shared memory and a UNIX socket under WSL2 using Hyper-V and socat.

  • goldwarden

    • Project mention: Goldwarden: Bitwarden Compatible Desktop Integration | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-03

  • ssh-tpm-agent

    :computer: :key: ssh-agent for TPMs

    • Project mention: An Excruciatingly Detailed Guide to SSH (But Only the Things I Find Useful) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-23

    I've been hacking on `ssh-tpm-agent` which allows you to create or import TPM sealed keys. This is practical as it prevents key extraction and it has dictionary attack protection which allows you to have 4 digit pins instead of passphrases to protect your private keys.

    Currently hacking up better support for `HostKeyAgent` and `HostKey` for `sshd`.
